What are the causes of black blood clots during menstruation?

The reason why there are black blood clots in menstrual blood is quite common in our lives. It is mainly because female friends do not pay attention to their personal habits in life. Therefore, we suggest that female friends should eat more fruits and vegetables, try not to eat spicy food, etc. At the same time, you should avoid staying up late often, so that you can prevent the phenomenon of black blood clots in menstrual blood.

During normal menstrual period, blood clots will appear when the endometrium is shed. Chinese medicine calls this physical weakness and irregular menstruation. It is recommended that you keep warm before and after your period and eat less raw and cold food. You can take blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing drugs such as Motherwort Granules and Ai Fu Nuan Gong Pills as prescribed by your doctor. You must go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis before taking medication. Please do not take medication on your own.

Blood clots during menstruation are considered to be blood stasis. Qi stagnation and blood stasis refers to the pathological state in which Qi stagnation and blood stasis exist simultaneously. The pathological mechanism is: generally, it is caused by poor circulation of Qi first, and then blood stasis is caused. Qi stagnation occurs first, which leads to blood stasis. It can also be caused by blood stasis such as blood leaving the meridians, which affects the circulation of Qi. In this case, blood stasis occurs first, which leads to Qi stagnation. It can also be caused by injuries such as sprains, which cause Qi stagnation and blood stasis to form simultaneously. The main clinical manifestations are: chest and flank distension, wandering pain, irritability, lumps under the ribs, stabbing pain that refuses to be pressed, women may have amenorrhea, or dysmenorrhea, dark purple menstrual blood with clots, dark purple tongue or ecchymosis, and sluggish pulse.

There are many reasons for black menstrual blood. There are two possibilities for black menstrual blood: one is gynecological inflammation; the other is body cold. The most common one is uterine cold in traditional Chinese medicine. The main clinical manifestation of uterine cold is scanty menstruation, accompanied by abdominal pain, blood clots, etc. Some patients will have cold limbs and sweating. Secondly, overheated physique can also have this clinical manifestation. The patient has scanty menstruation, darker color, dark red or coffee color, etc., and rarely accompanied by abdominal pain and other clinical symptoms. In addition, a thin endometrium can also result in scanty menstruation. At the same time, taking certain medications, changes in the external environment and living habits can also lead to a transient decrease in menstrual volume or a change in color.

Menstrual blood clots can generally be treated with Chinese medicine. According to the symptoms and signs, the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, regulating qi and unblocking collaterals has a better effect. Herbs such as safflower, peach kernel, mint, Kuncao, Ze Lan, and red peony root have a good effect on improving symptoms and signs. However, this should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
